I am trying to install FF on a thin client, and need to change the location the installler extracts the temp files to as the disk is not big enough.
Is there a pre extracted version of the installer or a way of specifiying where the installer extracts itself to?

You can "extract" the Firefox 4+ Windows versions yourself by opening the Firefox Setup #.0.exe package with 7-Zip and extracting the contents of the \code\ folder into a new program files that you created ahead of time.
This way of "installing" Firefox doesn't write to the Registry so you won't be able to set as the Default browser, as WIndows won't "see it".

Firefox doesn't come as an installer.
The version from the Mozilla server is a tar.bz2 archive that you can save to any directory.
You can extract the files yourself to any program directory on a drive with sufficient disk space.
Yeah sorry should have said I am trying to install on windows with the .exe located here https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
If Firefox on Windows is using the current temp folder then you need to change the location of the temp folder via the %TMP% and %TEMP% environment variables.
- Control Panel > System > Advanced > Environment variables
- Right-click My Computer > Properties > Advanced > Environment variables
